chapter 1

It was Summer 2011, the sun was shining brightly on Aaron`s and Adam`s body as they sat on the cricket pavilion sun bathing. Aaron looked over to the side where Adam was laying as he smiled like a Cheshire cat thinking to himself, this is the life.

Adam smiled looking to the bright blue sky; the yellow sun shining, the summer air getting to his lungs. Looking over to Aaron he smiled again, picking up his orange can of iron brew as he threw it at Aaron, making Aaron jump up into the air screaming, ``What the fuck are you doing?``

Hearing Aaron`s voice made Adam laugh louder as he just laid there, silent, letting the sun hit his stomach. Aaron smiles as he walks over to the stairs getting a ice cold can of Fosters before opening it and drinking a sip, then tipping the remaining all over Adams face and body, making his body tense up and shiver violently before he jumped up himself.

Looking over to Aaron who was now the one laughing.

"Lets call the throwing a day and go back to relaxing," he says as he pats Aaron on the back before lying back down.

Aaron laughed as he laid back down putting his blue and white headphones into his ears before pressing play on his white 8 GB iPhone. Hearing the lyrics play he smiles to himself.

You took my hand, you showed me how

You promised me you'd be around...

He looked over to Adam again, letting his bright eyes wander down his muscled body before looking back at his iPhone. Seeing his mum was trying to ring, him he answered it before slowly putting the phone to his ear.

``Yeah whats up with you mum``

He talked to her listening to her moan about Carl before putting the phone down not wanting to speak to her. He looked over to Adam smiling, "You want to go back to smithy's watch a movie? You can stay."

Adam smiled before looking back over to him smiling to himself as he got up wiping the grass down his leg so it hit the ground.

"I would love to if you`re sure," he smiles as Aaron looks over; a glint of happiness on his face.

"Of course I'm sure Paddy won't mind."

So they started walking; Aaron looking towards Adam as he wasn't looking. But what he didn't realize is that Adam was looking at Aaron, his bright face sparkling in the sun as they both walked down the wooden pathway smiling to each other as they made idle chit chat talking about anything and everything.

As they made their way through smithy's they were both bragging about how good they were at FIFA and pro evolution soccer. Adam laughed playfully punching Aaron as they both jumped on the sofa. Adam, smiling as Aaron set the Play Station 3 up putting the FIFA 2011 disk into the drive. The menu appeared, and Aaron laughed, throwing the controller to Adam.

`"Bring it bitch; show me what you got," Adam laughs, taking the controller in his left hand before pressing the play button; kicking the ball into the opposite goal.

They carried on playing for 3 hours as they drank beer and talked about different subjects.

Adam smiled looking towards Aaron as he gave him a smile, weak, but still a smile either way.

"You know in that car if I had let you kiss me would you have gone further...?"

He says with a look off hope in his eyes as Aaron looks to the ground before looking back up at the male staring towards him.

"I think that depends on if you wanted me to. I was going through a bad time back then but now I know it was you I wanted. I promise you that. Its just it was hard to comprehend back then."
